11 S'mores Cupcakes To Wish You A Happy S'mores Day!

Happy National S'mores Day! Yes, there is a National S'mores Day amongst all the food holidays out there and since s'mores are one of my favorite cupcake flavors I wanted to share some s'mores cupcake photos and recipe links. And yes, some of these have been blogged before, but I wanted to share my favorites! I love all things s'mores, the gooey-er (spelling?) the better. So happy happy happy!

My personal three favorite s'mores cupcakes I've eaten come from:


Seattle's Trophy Cupcakes - get owner Jennifer Shea's recipe at Martha Stewart and visit trophycupcakes.com for more information


Cupcake in Minneapolis - I go there specifically for their s'mores cupcake! Photo by Aaron Landry via Flickr.


Sweet E's Cupcakes on Martha's Vineyard - this photo doesn't do it justice, but it's so good!

The wonderful custom cupcake seller/blogger Amanda Cupcake s'mores cupcakes that blew my mind; click here for the recipe!



Blogger Stuff Your Face writes of the recipe for these cupcakes below:

I really wanted that graham cracker flavor but the texture of melted chocolate and gooey marshmallow – to stay true to S’mores. So I decided to go with a graham cracker flavored cake, replacing some of the flour with ground graham crackers. Then topping the cake with Nutella (the texture is just like melted chocolate and it tastes so good) and using my favorite Meringue frosting and torching it – which is a good reason on its own to make these cupcakes!



Blogger Glorious Treats serves up a recipe for these cupcakes:



From their post: What could be a more perfect cupcake flavor for summer than s'mores? I first gave this recipe combo a try several years ago, and have since made them several times. They are always such a hit for summer parties! A delicious chocolate cupcake (using my go-to chocolate cupcake recipe) is paired with light and fluffy mashmallowy frosting and topped with the traditional elements of s'mores... graham crackers and chocolate.

Blogger The Snappy Gourmet has gone over the top (ha!) with these "chunky s'mores dipped cupcakes," aka hi hat cupcakes that look amazing! Go there for the recipe.





Beloved blogger Bakerella made these dripping chocolate s'mores cupcakes and gives you the recipe:



Blogger Pretty Tasty Things has the recipe for these s'mores cupcakes below:

Cake pops on cupcakes: a 2 in 1 treat, plus Toy Story and Super Mario cupcake shooters!

Blogger and cake pop seller Sweet Cheeks Tasty Treats not only makes cake pops, but she puts them on cupcakes! She was inspired by the cake pop queen Bakerella, and writes on her blog:

Making the leap and deciding to start selling my goodies...creating Sweet Cheeks Tasty Treats as a way to provide people with the deliciousness I had to offer....and creating this blog as a way to connect with clients and fellow creators...it was ALL an extension of that first seed of inspiration I found in Bakerella's blog!

Sweet Cheeks Tasty Treats is based in Fairfax, Iowa, and can be reached atsweetcheeks at southslope.net and on Facebook.

And a few other cupcake treats they make, the first of which I'd gladly gobble up:

And below are custom cupcake shooters, which are 2 frosted mini-cupcakes in a Push-pop Container!
